I understand the various arguments such as the cloud being sufficient, that you can use external removable storage to meet your needs, etc. However, I don't think there is a valid argument against a tablet having a mini SD slot to provide the *option* of internal removable storage. Some say it needlessly adds cost, but that cost is negligible. You could say that the cards can get lost, but if this is a concern, you can just leave it in place all the time and it would function just like non-removable internal storage. You can argue that most people don't need to expand or remove storage, but given the negligible cost, why not provide those who might differ the option?
